  1. #Gardens that Nurture #Culture

    Spring 2022

    Excerpt: "Growing one’s own food became more appealing and, in some cases, a greater necessity to many in this pandemic era. #NativePeoples have long tended gardens that have provided their communities with #sustainably grown foods, #MedicinalPlants and #NaturalMaterials. Today these much-needed sources of local, healthy foods are also places to cultivate and preserve #CulturalTraditions.

    " 'Even some Native cultures—like #foraging cultures—that didn’t historically garden now see it as a helpful use of land and time and money because they can efficiently produce the kinds of foods that people need to stay healthy,' said Elizabeth Hoover. Of #Mohawk and #Mikmaq descent, she is an associate professor of Environmental Science, Policy and Management at the University of California in Berkeley. Researching this trend, she drove 20,000 miles in 2014 to talk with dozens of #AmericanIndian gardeners and food advocates.

    "In western North Carolina, David Anderson works as the horticultural operations supervisor at the #JessieOwleDugan #NativePlant and Greenhouse Facility of the Eastern Band of #Cherokee Indians. The complex includes three #greenhouses, 30 raised growing beds, a 3-acre nursery and 5 acres of fields dedicated to producing crops specifically for their seeds. It also has 330 acres of field that can be leased to enrolled tribal members who wish to garden or farm.

    "While the facility does generate funds for the tribe, it also preserves culturally important species to get them into the hands of tribal members to plant. It focuses on growing traditional plants, such as #grapes, #elderberry, #WildStrawberries, #blackberries, #huckleberries sochan and #cohosh. In 2021, the greenhouse also grew #hickory saplings, which once mature, can to provide wood that can be used to make stickball sticks, artworks and other traditional projects. 'We serve our community with plants for home, for farmers, and for restoration,' said Anderson."

  11. Another fresh product range set for the 1st of May event I'm attending this year where I'm hoping they'll go down well.

    These pup mohawks are my first production run, if they do well I can invest in more fur colours to increase the range.

    They'll also work on bike helmets, though the fur can get a bit scraggly if you're wearing them in all weathers.

  13. I am, the one and only …

    Most times, I find the WordPress daily prompt quite interesting. (See, there I go again with that Glasgow tendency to play things down. 😉 ) ‘Quite interesting.’ Hmmnnn.

    Today though, it’s rather dumb. Well, I think so. (And I’m not convinced it’s grammatically correct either. Just sayin’.)


    ‘Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?’

    Easy! Simply put – their ‘existence.‘ There – that was a short blog post. Sorted.

    OK – a little bit more. I’m certain I’m not the only short person in the world; there’s probably another short man somewhere who rocks a daft mohawk hairstyle at 67 years of age; more, there’s probably some dude who’s short, old, with an age-inappropriate haircut and plays pickleball; probably has a large record collection too; and enjoys writing. And is a bit of an idiot.

    All those mentioned above can take a seat.

    Now, the field of similarity has decreased dramatically, I should think. So how many of those still standing, worked in Banking for 28 years; then worked with dogs and other household pets for 18?

    Aye – not many left now. Ok, who can also say they’ve had a gun pointed at their face during a bank raid? Or survived an Out of Hospital Sudden Cardiac Arrest?

    Yaaay! I win! 🙂

    I’m willing to bet all of this week’s pocket-money, there’s nobody else in the world fulfills all the criteria that’s required to be me. ‘Coz I’m special. I’m unique.

    And so are you. And the next person; and the next.

    We are not ‘unique’ because of our looks or our actions or our attitudes. There will always be someone, somewhere can match them. We are unique because of a combination of things. We are unique because of circumstances, good or bad.

    We are unique because of a combination of circumstances in our very existence.

    We are each, ‘the one and only …’

    _____
    ***Apologies – that was rubbish post. Totally kack. As I said earlier in the week, I can’t do ‘serious,’ very well. ***

  14. bit of a long shot here, perhaps, but I'm looking for Haudenosaunee tattoo artists in Ontario (though, I would be willing to travel into Quebec if needed) who might be interested in a simple wampum-based tattoo on a white settler. If that's you, or you know someone who might be interested, please pass my name and contact along /reach out! thank you!
